FOETUS PROTECTED BY THREE VEILS OF DARKNESS

          “He makes you,

           in the wombs of your mothers,

           in stages, one after another,

           in three veils of darkness.”

                                 [Al-Qur’an 39:6]

According to Prof. Keith Moore, these three veils of

darkness in the Qur’an refer to:

(i) anterior abdominal wall of the mother

(ii) the uterine wall

(iii) the amnio-chorionic membrane.
